23:34 And thou shalt be as he that lieth down in the midst of the sea, or as he that lieth upon the top of a mast.

23:35 They have stricken me, wilt thou say, and I was not sick; they have beaten me, and I felt it not: when shall I awake? I will seek it yet again.

24:1 Be not thou envious against evil men, neither desire to be with them.

24:2 For their heart studieth destruction, and their lips talk of mischief.

24:3 Through wisdom is a house built; and by understanding it is established:

24:4 And by knowledge shall the chambers be filled with all precious and pleasant riches.

24:5 A wise man is strong; and a man of knowledge increaseth strength.

24:6 For by wise counsel thou shalt make thy war: and in multitude of counselors there is safety.

24:7 Wisdom is too high for a fool: he openeth not his mouth in the gate.

24:8 He that deviseth to do evil shall be called a mischievous person.

24:9 The thought of foolishness is sin: and the scorner is an abomination to men.

24:10 If thou faintest in the day of adversity, thy strength is small.

24:11 If thou forbearest to deliver them that are drawn to death, and those that are ready to be slain;

24:12 If thou sayest, Behold, we knew it not; doth not he that pondereth the heart consider it? and he that keepeth thy soul, doth not he know it? and will not he render to every man according to his works?

24:13 My son, eat thou honey, because it is good; and the honey-comb, which is sweet to thy taste:

24:14 So shall the knowledge of wisdom be to thy soul: when thou hast found it, then there shall be a reward, and thy expectation shall not be cut off.

24:15 Lay not wait, O wicked man, against the dwelling of the righteous; destroy not his resting-place:

24:16 For a just man falleth seven times, and riseth again: but the wicked shall fall into mischief.

24:17 Rejoice not when thy enemy falleth, and let not thy heart be glad when he stumbleth:

24:18 Lest the LORD see it, and it displease him, and he turn away his wrath from him.

24:19 Fret not thyself because of evil men, neither be thou envious at the wicked;

24:20 For there shall be no reward to the evil man; the candle of the wicked shall be extinguished.

24:21 My son, fear thou the LORD and the king: and meddle not with them that are given to change:

24:22 For their calamity shall rise suddenly; and who knoweth the ruin of them both?

24:23 These things also belong to the wise. It is not good to have respect of persons in judgment.

24:24 He that saith to the wicked, Thou art righteous; him shall the people curse, nations shall abhor him:

24:25 But to them that rebuke him shall be delight, and a good blessing shall come upon them.

30:4 Who hath ascended into heaven, or descended? who hath gathered the wind in his fists? who hath bound the waters in a garment? who hath established all the ends of the earth? what is his name, and what is his son's name, if thou canst tell?

30:5 Every word of God is pure: he is a shield to them that put their trust in him.

30:6 Add thou not to his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.

30:7 Two things have I required of thee; deny them not to me before I die:
